Definitions

  • the present invention is related to lighting apparatuses. More specifically, the present invention is related to lighting apparatuses that utilize reflectors in some form or fashion.
  • Indirect light is a pleasing manner of providing the light required for various tasks. With indirect light, less foot-candles (quantity of light) is required to provide the same illumination levels as with direct light.
  • the infinite reflector series allows you the possibility of indirect illumination in the most unique and innovative way. Reflectors permit you to redirect light.
  • the IRS Intelligent Reflector Series
  • the method of fixing to floors, walls or ceilings can be accomplished with clamps, suction cups, mounting plates, tables (stainless steel, nylon, rubber, rope, etc.), or tubes, as well as other means.
  • Interceptors can be placed in inaccessible places while the lamp source is placed in an accessible location and obtain the same results as if the source were in an inaccessible location.
  • reflectors In a ceiling of 30 feet or more, which might normally have recessed fixtures, you can place reflectors.
  • the light source could be mounted on walls at 6 or 8 feet in height (easily accessible). The light would be directed towards the reflectors, which would in turn redirect the light in a similar manner of a downlight.
  • the reflector therefore, replaces the source of illumination.
  • high ceilings no longer present a relamping problem.
  • wiring cost savings can be achieved, as it may no longer be necessary to run wiring in the ceiling.
  • US 5,733,036 describes a louvered light control which controls the light emitted by a standard drop-in fluorescent light fixture.
  • the fluorescent light fixture is removed and a louver frame containing first and second louver assemblies stacked with the louver frame is inserted in place of the lens.
  • the louver assemblies are oriented so that the louver vanes of the first louver assembly are at a right angle with respect to the louver vanes of the second louver assembly.
  • Adjusting means for adjusting the movable vanes of the first and second louver assemblies between a relatively open position and a relatively closed position permit control of light emitted by the fluorescent light fixture.
  • DE 10161468 discloses a lighting apparatus having the pre-characterizing features of claim 1.
  • a lighting apparatus having the feature of claim 1 below.
  • the apparatus 10 comprises a light source 12 which produces a light.
  • the apparatus 10 comprises a housing 36 in which the light source 12 is disposed.
  • the housing 36 having a front face 72 through which the light emanates from the housing 36.
  • the housing 36 having a first side 74 and an interior 76.
  • the apparatus 10 comprises a first shutter 78 rotatably connected to the housing 36 which can be set at a closed position that prevents light from emanating from the front face 72, and an open position that does not block any light from emanating from the front face 72, or any angle between the open position and the closed position.
  • the first shutter 78 having an inside face 80 facing toward the interior 76 and an outside face 81 facing away from the interior 76.
  • the outside face 81 having a reflector 50 which reflects the light which strikes it.
  • the apparatus 10 includes a second shutter 82 rotatably connected to the housing 36 which can be set at a closed position that prevents light from emanating from the front face 72, and an open position that does not block any light from emanating from the front face 72, or any angle between the open position and the closed position.
  • the second shutter 82 having an inside face 80 facing toward the interior 76 and an outside face 81 facing away from the interior 76, and the outside face 81 having a reflecting material which reflects the light which strikes it.
  • the light source 12 preferably includes a plurality of lamps 70.
  • the lamps 70 are fluorescent.
  • the apparatus 10 preferably includes gimbal ring 84 assemblies disposed in the housing 36 which holds the lamps 70.
  • the apparatus 10 includes a first motor 86 connected to the first shutter 78 which moves the first shutter 78 into a desired position.
  • the apparatus 10 can preferably include a second motor 88 connected to the second shutter 82 which moves the second shutter 82 into a desired position.
  • the apparatus 10 includes a first hinge 90 attached to the first shutter 78 and the housing 36, and a second hinge 92 attached to the second shutter 82 and the housing 36.
  • the apparatus 10 can preferably include a bracket attached to the housing 36 for attaching a housing 36 to a building structure 24.
  • the present invention pertains to a method for lighting.
  • the method comprises the steps of moving a first shutter 78 disposed in a front face 72 of a housing 36 to a desired position relative to a first side wall 91 of the housing 36 to allow a desired amount of light from a light source 12 disposed in the housing 36 to emanate from the housing 36.
  • the first shutter 78 having an inside face 80 facing toward an interior 76 of the housing 36 and an outside face facing away from the interior 76, and the outside face having a reflecting material which reflects the light which strikes it.
  • a second shutter 82 disposed in the front face 72 of the housing 36 is moved to a desired position relative to a second side wall 93 of the housing 36 that opposes the first side wall 91 to allow a desired amount of light from the light source 12 disposed in the housing 36 to emanate from the housing 36.
  • the second shutter 82 having an inside face 80 facing toward the interior 76 of the housing 36 and an outside face facing away from the interior 76, and the outside face having a reflecting material which reflects the light which strikes it.
  • the housing 36 such as a typical rectangular housing 36 having a first side 74 and opposing second side, and a third side connected to the first side 74 and second side, and a fourth side opposing the third side and connected to the first side 74 and second side, has a light source 12 disposed in it.
  • the light source 12 can be one or more fluorescent lamps 70, or one or more lamps 70 mounted on gimbal ring 84 assemblies.
  • the housing 36 is mounted to the ceiling 94 or wall 40 of a building structure 24 through brackets.
  • first shutter 78 that is attached to the first side 74 with a first hinge 90.
  • second shutter 82 that is attached to the second side with a second hinge 92. While it is the choice of the user if only one shutter is used, it is preferable to use two shutters that are sized so that when the first shutter 78 and the second shutter 82 are in a closed position, the first shutter 78 and the second shutter 82 define a plane and adjoin with each other to prevent light from emanating from the front face 72 of the housing 36.
  • the first shutter 78 and second shutter 82 are rotated towards the first side 74 and the second side, respectively, to any angular position desired, depending on how much light is desired to emanate from the housing 36. If all the light is desired to emanate from the front face 72, without essentially being blocked at all, then the first shutter 78 and second shutter 82 are put in a position parallel to the first side 74 and the second side, respectively.
  • a reflector 50 on the outside face of shutters enhances the coverage of the light emitted from the lamps 70 in the housing 36.
  • the first hinge 90 and the second hinge 92 hold the respective shutter at the desired angle as they are moved towards their respective side. Once the respective shutter is moved past parallel with a respective side, then the hinge releases and is free to move back to the perpendicular position relative to the respective side, or otherwise the closed position. Such hinges are able to readily be purchased.
  • the first shutter 78 and the second shutter 82 having a first motor 86 and a second motor 88, respectively, which move the first shutter 78 and second shutter 82, respectively, to the desired position relative to the first side 74 and second side, respectively.
  • the motors are mounted alongside the first side 74 and second side and rotate the first hinge 90 and second hinge 92, respectively, to cause the first shutter 78 and second shutter 82, respectively, to be moved into a desired position.
